Main Issues found:

  • libvirt-devel package is not available by default in rhel 9. (Requires codeready entitlements (CRB channel) to use but may not even be needed) - KVM Host
  • package "network-scripts" does not exists on RHEL9. I did find NetworkManager-initscripts-updown.noarch : Legacy ifup/ifdown scripts for NetworkManager that replace initscripts (network-scripts) - KVM bastion issue
  • robertdebock.openvpn dependencies cannot be installed on RHEL 9. Need to find alternatives for multi cluster. - KVM Host issue
  • Password authentication is turned off by default in RHEL 9. Can we overcome by adding below to kickstart 
    echo "PasswordAuthentication yes" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
echo "PermitRootLogin yes" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
systemctl restart sshd
    • KVM bastion issue
  • FIPS installations will have issues with oc binary (this issues is at openssl level and may not need out attention) - general

Minor Issues:

  • The default python3 package version in RHEL 8 is 3.6.x and RHEL9 is 3.9.x. With this python 3.9 version you are only able to install ansible 8.7. Not higher. The latest ansible version 9.2 requires python 3.11. Not a pressing issue as standard ansible-core package in rhel is enough to run our playbooks - controller issue

Note: ocp 4.15 onwards, the oc mirror binary required higher glibc version not available on rhel 8 and order oc mirror cannot be used to mirror ocp 4.15 if you are using rhel 8 as mirror host.

FYI.
I made a mistake.
The default python3 version on RHEL 8.8 is 3.6 and not 3.9 !

Moving to rhel 9 could potentially close #187
